🔖Course Guide🔖
📍Riko selects learning content and methods based on students’ goals, desires, and current levels.
📍The main teaching materials are textbooks and self-made PowerPoint materials.
📍In the Introductory and elementary class, Chinese/English will be used so that students can understand smoothly and learn easily.
📍I think that students and teachers have an equal relationship. Please feel free to call me "Riko-san". (If you feel more comfortable calling me "Sensee", of course that's okay.)
📍Thanks to the cooperation of the students, we can have a good class. The teaching was also a beneficial experience for Riko. I will teach you carefully with gratitude.
